What you do really depends on the state of your current file.
It may be easier and quicker to start a new file and make sure you
source everything correctly as you go.
If you have lots of entries that are already well entered and sourced,
then it may be better to tag everyone and untag them after checking them
thoroughly.Or tag people after checking them.
If you have some good Master Sources and decide to start a new file, you
can tag the good Master sources in your old file and import them into
your new file. In the Master Source list in your new file, go to Options
> Import Lists
I haven't started a new file but every now and again I tag everyone
using a poor Master source using Show List in the Master Source List and
go through and update/replace that source.
I do the same when the old source is a transcription and now the images
are available. In this case I add a new source and leave the old source
as it's still valid.
If you stay with your old file, there is also the Search > Find >
Missing Sources tab which can find which people have data but are
missing sources. Be selective so you only get a list short enough and
specific enough to work on. Again tag them and untag when checked.
If you use tags, make sure on the Advanced Tagging screen you say what
you are using each tag for.
You ask about removing sources and leaving names and dates. You can
remove Master Sources one by one. When you click on Delete in the Master
Source list (under the Options button) you will be told that the
highlighted source is being used. If you opt to see who is using it,
you'll find a Delete anyway button. I prefer to use the old badly
formatted source as a guide though as explained above.

I have found that starting with a clean slate is my best method.
Entering some dates and places does not take much time. However, it
forces me to check each one for correctness and sources.

*Subject: *[LegacyUG] Do Over Question
Hello all
I seem to work on my Genealogy every 3 years or so.
Now, I "think" my life is such that I can stick to it now.
I am doing the Genealogy Do Over in the modified version. I am not
scraping all 3,000 plus records.
I am doing it this time with better citations and research notes, etc.
I am also keeping notes that I can piece into a cohesive account of
how and why I did this, that or the other. It will make it easier for
her to pick up where I left off someday.
I am undecided as to how to most efficiently go about it.
I have a copy of my original Legacy tree.
Is there a way I can clear all the citations, sources, etc. without
deleting the names & dates?
Or, should I start with a totally naked file from absolute scratch?
I would prefer not to start from scratch, but I will if I have to.
All suggestions will be considered.
